What is Classical Education?
A Great Hearts classical education is a knowledge-rich approach to learning that forms both the mind and the character of each student. Rooted in the Western intellectual tradition, it introduces students to enduring works of literature, history, mathematics, science, philosophy, music, and art.
Students are taught to read closely, think clearly, speak thoughtfully, and pursue truth through meaningful discussion and careful study. Rather than simply preparing students for the next test or assignment, a Great Hearts education helps them understand the world, recognize what is true, good, and beautiful, and grow into thoughtful, virtuous citizens.
From kindergarten through high school, students build a strong foundation of knowledge while developing habits of curiosity, perseverance, courage, humility, and responsibility. The goal is not only academic excellence, but the formation of young people who are prepared to live meaningful lives and contribute to their families, communities, and country.
